2017 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid Other or unknown Problems

“Chrysler says possible diode failure, possible sudden loss of power, possible crash (fatal), but Chrysler has no replacement, says nothing can be done until third quarter 2017. That's unacceptable. I can't drive a deathmobile. My car has not shown symptoms, but that's not the point. My VIN is on recall list. Recall notice attached.”

“On three seperate occasions over the past five months, I have encountered the same issue. While driving between 75-80mph on the highway with 32-44% life on the hybrid battery, the vehicle has shut off the engine. A message comes up on the cluster that I must put the vehicle in park to drive. The accelerator does nothing and power steering is lost. I must coast off the highway.

Chrysler offers no information on where to park it. They don't know what is wrong with the van and no timeline as to when it will be fixed. They won't buy it back as they should. We can't drive or charge our van. We are paying close to $6.00 in gasoline right now. It is just parked in front of our house. It is vitally important that we have our van. We want a buyback now. …”
